As processors evolve, it is becoming more and more critical to both vectorize (use AVX or SIMD instructions) and thread software to realize the full performance potential of the processor. In some cases, code that is vectorized and threaded can be more than 175X faster than unthreaded / unvectorized code and about 7X faster than code that is only threaded or vectorized. And that gap is growing with every new processor generation.
Intel Inspector, find bugs before they happen with Intel® Inspector, an easy to use memory and threading debugger for C, C++ and FORTRAN applications.
Intel Advisor, find the greatest parallel performance potential and identify critical synchronization issues quickly with Intel® Advisor, a vectorization optimization and thread prototyping tool for C, C++ and Fortran applications.
